Damn...If I had checked the website in time I would have met you for a ride. I live in Oregon, Oh., a suburb of Toledo. Depending on what route you took to Cedar Point...it probably would have taken you right through Oregon. It is now Sunday, Sept. 30th....Oh well, I guess my luck just isn't that good. lol.

Geez you guys are crazy, lol
I was away last weekend and decided to take a rental rather then the GXP so I could save the 1200miles I put on the car between Saturday and Monday :o and I have been away on business for the past 2 days so have had no time to do anything with the car.
This weekend is Thanksgiving up here in Canada and I'm heading to my parents and we're taking the other car so it won't be until sometime late next week before I have time to do anything.
Unfortunately I have a full time job that keeps me very busy, if I could just worrie about posting pics and vids I would love my life that much more!

Stock tires yes. Maybe next year I'll do a brake downgrade and slap some 16's with slicks but we just want numbers with street tires.
Any guess' as to how she'll do?
I'm guestimating because of the limited traction:
12.7@119mph
So with traction, I smell them 11's

So what do you think a Turbo does for your warranty? I'd imagine pretty much any drivetrain warranty would be hosed as it would be really easy to blame the turbo...then again, I've never had a turbo and had to deal with that....what do you guys think? Anyone ever bring a turbo'ed car (even non-LS4) to a dealer?

Well, if it's something engine related that goes, or tranny related, I have 2 options, remove the kit and get it fixed back to stock, then put kit back on and break it again, or just pay to replace it with better/upgraded parts. I would choose the second option
For anything else, can't really blame the turbo for electrical problems, or paint, or suspension, or whatever else could go wrong.

Yeah, and with option 1, if the removal isn't done spot on and they detect the car has been messed with you're going to run into some hassle/resistance.. I agree...probably worth investing in drivetrain mods. Just wondering if anyone has had the first hand experience.
